In the latest series of Fifth Gear, they’ve yet again been up to their old tricks and broken several records. The most recent of which is Jonny Smith’s multiple record breaking during a recent episode, where seven national speed records from 5km – 100km were broken.
Thanks to its state-of-the-art direct injection, supercharged and turbocharged engine, the Fabia vRS produces 180bhp from just 1.4-litres, perfect for smashing the MSA Class F British speed record for 1,100 to 1,500 cc petrol engined cars.
The Škoda Fabia vRS broke the records that have stood for over 20 years thanks to its 139mph top speed, while Jonny Smith described it as “a car I could trust with my life”, thanks to its standard six airbags, ESP (including ABS, MSR and ASR) and strong safety shell.
Despite its outstanding performance, the Fabia vRS achieves an equally astonishing 45.6mpg combined.
The Škoda Fabia vRS is available now from just £15,700 OTR. See www.skoda.co.uk/ourcars for more information on Škoda’s range of great cars and offers.
